Gen 6:1 And it came to be, when men began to increase on the face of the
earth, and daughters were born to them,
Gen 6:2 that the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men, that they were
good. And they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
Gen 6:3 And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever in his
going astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty
years.”
Gen 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward,
when the sons of Elohim came in to the daughters of men and they bore
children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, the men of
name.
Gen 6:5 And יהוה saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and
that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Gen 6:6 And יהוה was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was
grieved in His heart.
Gen 6:7 And יהוה said, “I am going to wipe off man whom I have created
from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping creature and birds of
the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.”
Gen 6:8 But Noaḥ found favour in the eyes of יהוה.
Gen 6:9 This is the genealogy of Noaḥ. Noaḥ was a righteous man, perfect in
his generations. Noaḥ walked with Elohim.
Gen 6:10 And Noaḥ brought forth three sons: Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yepheth.
Gen 6:11 And the earth was corrupt before Elohim, and the earth was filled
with violence.
Gen 6:12 And Elohim looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt –
for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth –
Gen 6:13 and Elohim said to Noaḥ, “The end of all flesh has come before
Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. And see, I am going to
destroy them from the earth.
Gen 6:14 “Make yourself an ark of gopherwood. Make rooms in the ark, and
cover it inside and outside with tar.
Gen 6:15 “And this is how you are to make it: The length of the ark is three
hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.
Gen 6:16 “Make a window for the ark, and complete it to a cubit from
above. And set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second,
and third decks.
Gen 6:17 “And see, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to
destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under the heavens – all
that is on the earth is to die.
Gen 6:18 “And I shall establish My covenant with you, and you shall come
into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
Gen 6:19 “And of all the living creatures of all flesh, two of each, you are to
bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you – a male and a female.
Gen 6:20 “Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, and
of all creeping creatures of the earth after their kind, two of each are to come
to you, to keep them alive.
Gen 6:21 “As for you, take of all food that is eaten and gather it to yourself.
And it shall be food for you and for them.”
Gen 6:22 And Noaḥ did according to all that Elohim commanded him, so he
did.

Gen 7:1 And יהוה said to Noaḥ, “Come into the ark, you and all your
household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this
generation.
Gen 7:2 “Of all the clean beasts take with you seven pairs, a male and his
female; and of the beasts that are unclean two, a male and his female;
Gen 7:3 and of birds of the heavens seven pairs, male and female, to keep
offspring alive on the face of all the earth.
Gen 7:4 “For after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth, forty
days and forty nights, and shall wipe from the face of the earth all that stand
that I created.”
Gen 7:5 And Noaḥ did according to all that יהוה commanded him.
Gen 7:6 Now Noaḥ was six hundred years old when the flood-waters were
on the earth.
Gen 7:7 And Noaḥ and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives went into
the ark because of the waters of the flood.
Gen 7:8 Of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are unclean, and of birds,
and of all that creep on the earth,
Gen 7:9 two by two they went into the ark to Noaḥ, male and female, as
Elohim had commanded Noaḥ.
Gen 7:10 And it came to be after seven days that the waters of the flood
were on the earth.
Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noaḥ’s life, in the second month, the
seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep
were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
Gen 7:12 And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.
Gen 7:13 On that same day Noaḥ and Shĕm and Ḥam and Yepheth, the sons
of Noaḥ, and Noaḥ’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, went
into the ark,
Gen 7:14 they and every living creature after its kind, and every beast after
its kind, and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth after its kind,
and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.
Gen 7:15 And they went into the ark to Noaḥ, two by two, of all flesh in
which is the breath of life.
Gen 7:16 And those going in, male and female of all flesh, went in as
Elohim had commanded him, and יהוה shut him in.
Gen 7:17 And the flood was on the earth forty days, and the waters
increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
Gen 7:18 And the waters were mighty and greatly increased on the earth,
and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters.
Gen 7:19 And the waters were exceedingly mighty on the earth, and all the
high mountains under all the heavens were covered.
Gen 7:20 The waters became mighty, fifteen cubits upward, and the
mountains were covered.
Gen 7:21 And all flesh died that moved on the earth – birds and cattle and
beasts and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth, and all mankind.
Gen 7:22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that
was on the dry land, died.
Gen 7:23 So He wiped off all that stand, which were on the face of the
ground – both man and beast, creeping creature and bird of the heavens. And
they were wiped off from the earth. And only Noaḥ was left, and those with
him in the ark.
Gen 7:24 And the waters were mighty on the earth, one hundred and fifty
days.

Gen 8:1 And Elohim remembered Noaḥ, and all the beasts and all the cattle
that were with him in the ark. And Elohim made a wind to pass over the
earth, and the waters subsided.
Gen 8:2 And the fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were
stopped, and the rain from the heavens was withheld.
Gen 8:3 And the waters receded steadily from the earth, and at the end of the
hundred and fifty days the waters diminished.
Gen 8:4 And in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, the ark
rested on the mountains of Ararat.
Gen 8:5 And the waters decreased steadily until the tenth month. In the tenth
month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.
Gen 8:6 And it came to be, at the end of forty days, that Noaḥ opened the
window of the ark which he had made,
Gen 8:7 and he sent out a raven, which kept going out and turning back until
the waters had dried up from the earth.
Gen 8:8 Then he sent out a dove from him, to see if the waters had receded
from the face of the ground.
Gen 8:9 But the dove found no resting place for its feet and returned into the
ark to him, for the waters were on the face of all the earth. So he put out his
hand and took it, and pulled it into the ark to himself.
Gen 8:10 And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove
out from the ark.
Gen 8:11 And the dove came to him in the evening, and see, a freshly
plucked olive leaf was in its mouth. And Noaḥ knew that the waters had
receded from the earth.
Gen 8:12 And he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which
did not return to him again.
Gen 8:13 And it came to be in the six hundred and first year, in the first
month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth.
And Noaḥ removed the covering of the ark and looked, and saw the surface
of the ground was dry.
Gen 8:14 And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month,
the earth was dry.
Gen 8:15 And Elohim spoke to Noaḥ, saying,
Gen 8:16 “Go out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and your sons’
wives with you.
Gen 8:17 “Bring out with you every living creature of all flesh that is with
you: of birds, of cattle and all creeping creatures that creep on the earth. And
let them teem on the earth, and bear and increase on the earth.”
Gen 8:18 So Noaḥ went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives
with him,
Gen 8:19 every beast, every creeping creature, and every bird, whatever
creeps on the earth, according to their kinds, went out of the ark.
Gen 8:20 And Noaḥ built an altar to יהוה, and took of every clean beast and
of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Gen 8:21 And יהוה smelled a soothing fragrance, and יהוה said in His heart,
“Never again shall I curse the ground because of man, although the
inclination of man’s heart is evil from his youth, and never again smite all
living creatures, as I have done,
Gen 8:22 as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and
heat, and winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”

Gen 9:1 And Elohim blessed Noaḥ and his sons, and said to them, “Bear
fruit and increase, and fill the earth.
Gen 9:2 “And the fear of you and the dread of you is on every beast of the
earth, on every bird of the heavens, on all that creeps on the ground, and on
all the fish of the sea – into your hand they have been given.
Gen 9:3 “Every moving creature that lives is food for you. I have given you
all, as I gave the green plants.
Gen 9:4 “But do not eat flesh with its life, its blood.
Gen 9:5 “But only your blood for your lives I require, from the hand of
every beast I require it, and from the hand of man. From the hand of every
man’s brother I require the life of man.
Gen 9:6 “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood is shed, for in the
image of Elohim has He made man.
Gen 9:7 “As for you, bear fruit and increase, bring forth teemingly in the
earth and increase in it.”
Gen 9:8 And Elohim spoke to Noaḥ and to his sons with him, saying,
Gen 9:9 “And I, see, I establish My covenant with you and with your seed
after you,
Gen 9:10 and with every living creature that is with you: of the birds, of the
cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark,
every beast of the earth.
Gen 9:11 “And I shall establish My covenant with you, and never again is
all flesh cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again is there a flood to
destroy the earth.”
Gen 9:12 And Elohim said, “This is the sign of the covenant which I make
between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for all
generations to come:
Gen 9:13 “I shall set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of
the covenant between Me and the earth.
Gen 9:14 “And it shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the
rainbow shall be seen in the cloud,
Gen 9:15 and I shall remember My covenant which is between Me and you
and every living creature of all flesh, and never again let the waters become
a flood to destroy all flesh.
Gen 9:16 “And the rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I shall see it, to
remember the everlasting covenant between Elohim and every living creature
of all flesh that is on the earth.”
Gen 9:17 And Elohim said to Noaḥ, “This is the sign of the covenant which I
have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
Gen 9:18 And the sons of Noaḥ who went out of the ark were Shĕm and Ḥam
and Yepheth. And Ḥam was the father of Kena‛an.
Gen 9:19 These three were the sons of Noaḥ, and all the earth was
overspread from them.
Gen 9:20 And Noaḥ, a man of the soil, began and planted a vineyard.
Gen 9:21 And he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in
his tent.
Gen 9:22 And Ḥam, the father of Kena‛an, saw the nakedness of his father,
and told his two brothers outside.
Gen 9:23 So Shĕm and Yepheth took a garment, laid it on both their
shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father, but
their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
Gen 9:24 And Noaḥ awoke from his wine, and he knew what his younger
son had done to him,
Gen 9:25 and he said, “Cursed is Kena‛an, let him become a servant of
servants to his brothers.”
Gen 9:26 And he said, “Blessed be יהוה, the Elohim of Shĕm, and let
Kena‛an become his servant.
Gen 9:27 “Let Elohim enlarge Yepheth, and let him dwell in the tents of
Shĕm. And let Kena‛an become his servant.”
Gen 9:28 And Noaḥ lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Gen 9:29 So all the days of Noaḥ were nine hundred and fifty years, and he
died.
